Plants of Merit: Herbalist Badges

Enrolling in an herb school is a carefully chosen investment in your education as an herbalist, but perhaps your looking for a way to explore herbal topics that interest you with a more casual approach. Why not earn exciting and fun embroidered patches to show off some new herbal skills? Like the traditional scouting badges you may be familiar with, each Plants of Merit badge is earned by completing a checklist of activities and showing your work to prove that you have earned the patch.

*Please note: there is a Plants of Merit Program for children in development, but current classes are designed at an adult learning level.
